متن کاملRelational Absorptive Capacity: Preliminary Empirical Evidence for a Relational Theory of Absorptive Capacity in Supply Chains
Relational Absorptive Capacity (RAC) is presented as an extension of the theory of Absorptive Capacity for the purpose of understanding innovation in supply chain relationships. RAC is the ability of a firm to recognize the value of new knowledge from a supply chain partner, assimilate it, and apply it for mutual benefit. The paper builds theory by developing a comprehensive multi-facet model o...

This paper tests how the labour market characteristics of European regions shape regional absorptive capacity (RACAP), and regions’ ability to assimilate knowledge from public and externally-conducted R&D. In particular, we aim to establish whether labour market aspects of RACAP are more important for innovation in prosperous or lagging regions of the EU. Using European Innovation Scoreboard da...
متن کاملMicro-Evidence on the Determinants of Innovation in The Netherlands: The Relative Importance of Absorptive Capacity and Agglomeration Externalities

More specifically, we combine micro-data and census data to estimate the probability that a firm will introduce a goods, service or process innovation. We consider internal firm-level characteristics as well as ex...
